Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator” was the big winner at the 22nd Visual Effects Society Awards (held February 21 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel). The AI-themed, sci-fi actioner earned five awards, including the top photoreal feature VFX prize. The other awards were for modeling (Nomad), created environment (Floating Village), effects simulations, and compositing & lighting (Bar).
“The Creator” utilized an innovative streamlining process in post, in which Ilm designed and placed the naturalistic VFX over the actors playing AI simulants and the photographic plates as set extensions. This made the $80 million indie look like a $200 million blockbuster, with director Edwards shooting the entire film guerilla-style in 80 locations throughout Southeast Asia as the primary camera operator with a small crew and natural light.
Meanwhile, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” the animated feature Oscar favorite (snubbed by the Academy’s VFX branch), took home four awards, including the top animated VFX prize. Sony Pictures Imageworks innovated...

"Bones" tries to horrify and disgust its audience. But it may never have done so well than in "The Dude in the Dam." Why was it so nightmare-inducing? One word: Botfly.
Prepare to retch again with this recap.
Botflies are real, people!
Sometimes, it's tempting to believe that "Bones" makes up some of its more disgusting scientific aspects. This is not the case with the botfly. The botfly is a real creature that lives in southerly regions and truly does lay its eggs under the skin of a host.
It's gross. And it's very real.
Generally, the host in question isn't quite as welcoming as Dr. Jack Hodgins. This lover of all things small and squirmy is instead ecstatic to have the opportunity to play host to a botfly as it reaches maturity. Angela is disgusted by all of this, but she is willing to stand by her man, even...
